Find Out More About Life in Dublin

Dublin is an exciting and fast-paced city, with something for everyone. The city is well known for its culture, from the legacy of James Joyce to the high-quality music performances common in Dublin's pubs, it isn't hard to find something to fall in love with. While the St Patrick's Day Festival is an obvious date for your calendar, you shouldn't miss the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival or the Dublin Fringe Festival, for example.
On a more everyday level, a popular outing involves making a day visit to Grafton Street. Here you can find every shop you could ever need and more, a wide variety of restaurants and cafes to suit any budget, and the conveniently placed St Stephen's Green for a peaceful walk with the ducks while you escape the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are so inclined (or have children who are) you could easily make your visit to Grafton Street superhero-themed by exploring the lower Marvel floor of the Disney Store and then choosing to have a super dining experience at Captain America's or Gotham — depending whether you're a Marvel or DC fan, of course.
There's no doubt that Dublin is a place any expat can make home.
